Presented by the Council for Court Excellence (CCE) and cosponsored by several bar associations and legal organizations, the forum is an opportunity for attendees to hear from Judges Anita Josey-Herring, Milton Lee Jr., and Lynn Leibovitz about their priorities and approaches if selected as chief judge.
